Alphanetv4: Alpha Mining Model

Abstract

As AI and deep learning have become hot spots in the 21st century , they are widely used in the current quant market. In 2020, Huatai Securities constructed deep-learning-based AlphaNet for stock feature extraction and price prediction. At present, it has developed to the 3rd version and has formed a great influence in the market. However, the AlphaNet has some problems, such as underfitting caused by short sequence length of feature extraction, insufficient diversity of feature extraction, high complexity, instability of random sampling, which lead to the poor performance. So this paper proposes AlphaNetV4 to solve them. The main contributions of this paper are: 1) Increased the length of the sequence and reduced the step size of the extraction layer to improve the fitting effect; 2) Reduced the relevance of original input; 3) Used Spearman correlation coefficient to design dropout layer instead of random sampling to enhance the stability of feature extraction; 4) Applied Bi-LSTM to enrich the extraction layer, and Transformer to enhance the learning ability of the model. In addition, this paper also uses CNE5 Barra to redesign the fitting target, and optimizes the training process by modifying the training weight and using sharp EarlyStopping. This paper compares the performance between AlphaNetV4 and the previous AlphaNets. It verifies that increasing the sequence length can reduce the loss from 0.5 to 0.3, reducing the correlation of input can reduce the loss to 0.25, using Spearman Dropout can cut the computational complexity without damaging the accuracy, and that Transformer can reduce the loss to less than 0.1. Further, this paper conducts the back test to show that AlphaNetV4 has increased the annual excess return by about 7% - 10%. Finally, this paper provides suggestions on the future development of quant trading.

A Framework for Discharge Time Prediction of Energy Storage Units Based on Coupled Dynamics and Multi-Factor Aging Models

This paper presents a physically interpretable framework for predicting time to empty (TTE) in portable embedded systems. The framework couples usage-driven load-power decomposition, electrical power-voltage-current closure, a semi-empirical aging model, and SOC-temperature dynamics. Smartphone telemetry is mapped to battery current through an interpretable load model and conversion-efficiency correction. Battery capacity loss is modeled by combining Arrhenius temperature dependence, SEI diffusion behavior, and cycle-related power-law degradation. The coupled dynamic model then predicts TTE under different initial SOC values, ambient temperatures, and usage profiles. Chronological hold-out evaluation on a 6.9-h smartphone discharge session yielded a current RMSE of 0.0095 $\pm$ 0.0006 A, a temperature RMSE of 2.93 $\pm$ 0.24$^\circ$C, and a TTE MAPE of 4.81 $\pm$ 0.61%. Evaluation on NASA cell B0005 produced a capacity-loss RMSE of 0.031 Ah. Baseline, ablation, and counterfactual analyses further illustrate the contributions of thermal and aging corrections and the relative influence of load features. The results demonstrate the feasibility and interpretability of the proposed framework, while broader validation across devices and batteries remains necessary.

Node-Shift-Encoding Genetic Algorithm with fuzzy-enhanced reference tour to solve the bi-objective service-oriented TSP

The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) remains a key area of research in combinatorial optimization, with applications in logistics, manufacturing, and service delivery. This paper addresses a bi-objective service-oriented TSP in which the clients' ranks in the delivery path matter. Unlike conventional depot-based TSP formulations, the considered problem does not assume a distinguished depot or a fixed tour origin. To address this setting, we adapt the Miller--Tucker--Zemlin (MTZ)-based formulation and derive an original linearization of the resulting model, enabling its solution with off-the-shelf integer linear programming solvers. This adaptation avoids the rigid tour origin imposed by the conventional MTZ formulation, for which fixing the starting node does not affect the tour cost but can affect the objective in a customer-rank-sensitive TSP. To solve this problem, we present a Node-Shift-Encoding (NSE)-based Genetic Algorithm augmented with fuzzy reasoning to update the reference tour throughout the evolutionary process. Experimental evaluation on TSPLIB benchmarks demonstrates that the proposed method achieves improved performance compared with the classical NSE approach.

Geometric organization of olfactory descriptor data in the Poincar\'e disk

Odor quality is commonly represented using high dimensional descriptor profiles, yet their low dimensional organization remains unclear. We investigated whether a two-dimensional hyperbolic embedding can provide an interpretable representation of this structure. We applied hyperbolic metric multidimensional scaling to two complementary datasets: 480 Sagar rating profiles from three participants rating 160 odorants on 15 continuous descriptors, and 4983 GoodScents--Leffingwell molecules annotated with 138 binary descriptors. The embeddings substantially preserved pairwise descriptor distances, supporting subsequent analyses of radial and angular organization. In Sagar, rating profile entropy was strongly and negatively associated with hyperbolic radius, with diffuse profiles closer to the center and concentrated profiles closer to the boundary. This radial organization emerged primarily at the level of the full descriptor profile, rather than any individual descriptor, and remained robust across alternative descriptor representations, participant specific analyses, and averaged ratings. Sweet, musky, fruity, pleasantness showed the strongest directional trends. In GoodScents--Leffingwell, active label entropy, reflecting descriptor multiplicity, increased with radius, whereas orthogonalized descriptor entropy, reflecting spread across orthogonal modes, decreased with radius. Related binary descriptors occupied coherent localized high-density regions. These findings reveal complementary radial and angular organization in the hyperbolic representation of olfactory descriptor data. They support hyperbolic mapping as an interpretable descriptive framework in which radius summarizes global profile properties, while the angular component captures continuous descriptor gradients and categorical organization.
